    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

    B) did you ‘sign-in’ to an existing Microsoft account which is not yours?

    Did you know that you can start over the initial configuration steps? Just take the same guide as for an unresponsive phone…

  4. Wrong Microsoft account email address

    Wrong email address in Mail app (windows 10 not Outlook)

    I have a wrong email address that keeps appearing in the Windows10 Mail pp (not Outlook) that I cannot delete

    There is no "X" to delete and using arrow keys and delete button does nothing

    No, this is not in contacts, (Several people have listed this issue and MS keep posting how to go to contacts to delete it, its not a wrongly saved contact, its in the suggested emails only)

    I have searched all of my separate mailbox contact lists, the wrong email address is not saved anywhere, This is in the suggestions, How do we delete the suggestions list if they cant be removed 1 by 1
